i Talk nano USB Phone

AMEX Digital has introduced the i Talk nano, a USB-based VoIP phone highly reminiscent of Apple's previous-generation music player. In addition to its conspicuous design, the i Talk nano is notable for its universal VoIP support, according to the company. AMEX officially supports the use of the phone for several different IP telephone networks, including Firefly, MSN, and Skype; both Macs and Windows PCs are supported, AMEX says. The handset supports service-specific features such as caller ID and has built-in speakers for hands-free calling. Echo and noise cancellation prevent unwanted audio from reaching the microphone. Available in black or white, the i Talk nano ships for $25.
